HP and Altiris have partnered to provide HP Client Management Solutions—a complete portfolio of
solutions for managing the hardware and software aspects of HP client computers. HPCM provides
client hardware management and is tightly integrated with the Altiris management infrastructure.
Additional Altiris client software management solutions, based on this same infrastructure, are
available to provide complete client IT lifecycle management. These Altiris solutions address operating
system deployment and migration, software delivery, patch management, backup and recovery, asset

Summary

HPCM should be a welcome addition to the manageability toolkit of IT personnel who manage
complex HP client computing environments. HPCM will help increase your efficiency and productivity
in managing your HP client computers. You won't need to visit a particular computer in order to
perform tasks like running diagnostics or changing the BIOS settings. From the Altiris Console, you
can perform these tasks centrally and view detailed client information. These benefits will help lower
your IT costs as well as your overall cost of ownership.
